ABOUT THIS WEBSITE:
This site is dedicated to the world of 3D stereoscopic imaging.
The stereoscopic depth experience will amaze you.

Anaglyph images are used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with 2 colour glasses (each lens has a different colour). Images are made up of two colour layers, superimposed, but offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. Usually the main subject is in the center, while the foreground and background are shifted laterally in opposite directions. The picture contains two differently filtered coloured images, one for each eye. When viewed through the "colour coded" "anaglyph glasses" , they reveal an integrated stereoscopic image. The visual cortex of the brain fuses this into perception of a three dimensional scene or composition.

Anaglyph Method

The anaglyph method uses colour to encode the right and left image pairs. This method requires that the user wear a special pair of glasses with colour filters over each eye. These glasses have a red filter over one eye and a blue or green filter over the other eye. Most anaglyph glasses put the red filter over your left eye. There are three ways to encode an anaglyph image:

· Colour: Colour anaglyphs try to preserve as much of the original image colour as possible. Not every image will look good as a colour anaglyph - those that do are quite spectacular.

· Grey: Grey anaglyphs use a black and white version of the original image. Although the colour information is not preserved (as it is with the colour anaglyph) the grey anaglyph is typically easier to view.

· Pure: The pure anaglyph method converts the original image into a pure red/blue or red/green image (depending on the type of glasses you have). The pure method gives the best 3D effect but sacrifices the colour data and image intensity.

Warning: If you experience eye fatigue or discomfort, remove the glasses and take a break. We suggest putting the glasses on when you want to view an image and take them off otherwise.
